Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 3047 Whether Aurora City could stabilize was not really Andrew's concern. He just needed to control the city and keep its military forces firmly in his grasp. Killing people was indeed the best way to establish authority. The other prominent figures in the city now followed suit, kneeling down to pledge their loyalty. Whether they were truly loyal or not, Andrew did not care one bit. After making his point clear a few more times, he dismissed them all to return home. Afterward, Andrew summoned Petra. The latter was unusually hesitant and awkward.

Scratching his head, Petra looked genuinely embarrassed as he said, "I don't dare call you by your name anymore, or address you so casually like | used to, calling you 'kid' and all that!" Andrew smiled and asked, "What? Do you find me scary now, Petra?" Petra replied thoughtfully, "You're a bit intimidating, honestly. You're perfectly suited to be a leader; it's like you were born for it. Even though you're much younger than me, your martial prowess has already far surpassed anything | could achieve.

But what really puts pressure on me is your presence now, and your methods." ---- He continued, "You're iron-blooded, even bloodthirsty, and | don't mean that as criticism! On the contrary, I think you're doing an incredible job. Anyone who accomplishes great things is ruthless and suppresses all opposition, and bloodshed is just the simplest part of it. The authority you're gradually revealing makes me and the soldiers deeply convinced. And not to embarrass myself, but I'm even a bit intimidated!" Andrew laughed heartily and gestured toward Nyx.

"Alright, maybe | really should tone it down a bit. Why don't you help Petra relax? Let's not act like we're strangers here!" Nyx bit her lip, looked at Petra, and smiled faintly. "Don't be so tense. Andrew has not changed, or rather, this is who he really is. Petra, we've known each other since Dragonfang was first formed and have been through hundreds of battles together. It has been at least seven years now. Besides, you know my personality, so you should also know what kind of person | am. Andrew is someone worthy of our trust." Petra quickly waved his hands. "Nyx, you misunderstood me.

It's not that | think he's untrustworthy. If | didn't trust him, | would've left long ago. But precisely because | trust him unconditionally, | believe proper protocol is important. At the very least, he's now everyone's leader, and | can't joke around with him like before or act like there's no hierarchy!" Nyx smiled bitterly. "So what do you want to do about it?" ---- Petra answered seriously, "Nyx, you know I came froma mercenary background. Later, | met Mr. Lloyd Senior, joined Dragonfang, and followed his orders from then on. Until now, when Mr.

Lloyd Senior handed Dragonfang over to Andrew, and Andrew has led us to conquer new territory. For me, that was a huge promotion, almost a rise to prominence. So I'm very grateful to Andrew. "And now we have our own cities and armies. So we can't be as casual as before. If the soldiers see that, they'll become lax and lack proper respect for their commander! Therefore, | suggest that Andrew officially become the Marshal of the Dragonfang legion! "That way, we'll have proper military structure, corresponding chains of command, and clear superior-subordinate relationships.

Only then can we continue growing Dragonfang and forge it into an invincible legion!"
